Why I Serve Statement:

The reason why I serve is because I want to use the skills that I have to be a service to others. I strongly believe the many people you encounter tend to have some type of impact on your life. So when people encounter me, I would like to have a memorable impact on their lives by being of service. I enjoy helping others and finding creative solutions to problems. The New Orleans Alternative Breaks trip resonates close to home because I live an hour away from New Orleans. While New Orleans is “the city” and I come from a small town, we share some similarities. The most important similarity between the two is the strong culture. A culture that deserves to be understood, appreciated, and cultivated. As a participate on this trip, I want to help make small advancements that create many possibilities for greater change.
